    I sure like your music. My ancestory goes back to Cades Cove Tenn. Our bunch has been here in Webster County Missouri for about 150 years or so.

    Congratulations Doyle & the guys. I just noticed that a majority of the nominees have at least one member that is a graduate of “The School of Bluegrass”. Doyle knows how to select the talent & train them right.

      Looks like Doyle has picked up a new axe! That looks like a “Passernig” that Doyle is holding. There is a guy out in Texas (Austin I beleive) that builds them. Maybe Doyle will come on here and give us the details.

    Hey ya’ll. My family and I need a prayer request. We lost out little Coulter yesterday. He’s home with the Father now. Only 2 and half months old but left a huge mark on our lives. Thank God for a huge family and lot of love a support form friends and family.
